Guys, I just received my SSD yesterday, and let me tell you this is the best upgrade since 10 years I ever made to a machine, this is worth it in all the senses.

To install my new unit, on the Mac, just used Carbon Copy Mac, which it would be easy to download for free, and then with the mirror is done, just install this software to resolve the sleep issue in the mac, and you ARE DONE, FLYING LIKE A BIRD.
